Two- and three-body electron attachment in air

  • 1. Los Alamos Scientific Lab., NM (USA)

Description

The rate of disappearance of electrons has been measured in mixtures of 20% O2 in N2. The results show a three-body attachment rate coefficient of 2 x 10-32 cm6s-1 for electron mean energies in the range from 0.6 to 1.8 eV. The results also show a two-body rate coefficient which decreases from 8 x 10-13 to 5 x 10-14 cm3s-1 over this same range. (author)
